Where the hell is 127?

I mean seriously, that was the HP cap back in my day.

 

[Istickell]

I would have picked an answer that wouldn't have pissed you off if the number 53,595 was actually on the list...

 

[MercenaryCanary]

Where the fuck is 42?

Above you.

/Facepalm.

 

[Zeke the Freak]

Where the flippin' flyin' flapjacks is 3?!?!?!
Every thing is based around the number three in video games.
Its the single most important number in games

 

[Cheezdood]

How about this number:

!!!!!11111!11

I recall hearing that one a lot

 

[irishstormtrooper]

The best number is 42.

 

[hippieshopper]

I would have included 1337. Soooooooooo many people use it too much.

Can you explain?

what about 65535?

WHAT ABOUT IT? PLEASE EXPLAIN

no 117?

117? why 117?

8

WHY 8!?

Not all games used 999999999999999 as a large amount of HP/MP, typically games that used the Squared Number System used 65535. 2 to the 17 power I believe is 65536, close enough.

What game(s) use this???

 

[Daymo]

9999, max hit for the lazy final fantasy gamer in me and 99 as a level cap for so many rpgs I've played. 20 can go die though, stupid tiny level cap in KOTOR.

 

[Onyx Oblivion]

42, because it is the answer to the life, the universe, and everything.

Old old old RPGs.

I could come up with more names later. It's just 255 except one less bit. (not 2^8 -1, but 2^7 -1).

Or 36767/65535?
